As our second season of podcasting draws to a close we release our 45th episode in time for Christmas 2025.  We focus once again on topical chat, which at this time of year typically means discussing arrangements, traditions and evaluating hopes and aspirations.

A run through seasonal preparations in anticipation of TV highlights, carols in the open air and trips off-island signal the home straight towards Christmas itself, looming just around the corner.  From carols on the Green in Rookley, across the island to carols in the Square at Yarmouth, your intrepid duo, belted out our respective favourites like the copper from Love Actually.  Tune in to find out Tim’s and Rory’s favourite, festive, choral classics.

We also spend time in a reflective mood as we share our personal health news like two old blokes approaching retirement [Ed: You are!] in training for afternoons at the bowling club, pub or community centre.  With domination of the lucrative gaming market in our minds we translate our respective ailments into scores on our planned development of a new Top Trumps set where the winning cards harbour progressively more serious conditions and treatments, on a black humour scale that most certainly declines to shake hands with political correctness.

Most importantly, it’s Christmas and we wrap up 2025 with our personal, selfish, hedonistic, aspirations for the season ahead.  What could two ageing gentlemen both under the monitoring of the NHS possibly wish for?

Thanks for spending some of your valuable time with us over the last year.  We’re intending to keep going as long as we have pods to cast.  We discuss exciting plans for an innovative new podcasting genre that is guaranteed to move you, and us, in 2025.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.

See you in 2025.
